Infrastructure resilience is the ability to reduce the magnitude and/or duration of disruptive events. The effectiveness of a resilient infrastructure or enterprise depends upon its ability to anticipate, absorb, adapt to, and/or rapidly recover from a potentially disruptive event - National Infrastructure Advisory Council.

Enhancing resilience at a city and global scale will require action at many levels to move from reacting after disaster strikes, to create a world where failure to plan in advance is unacceptable – Lloyd’s Emerging Risk Report (2017)

Because of this, it is critically important that resilience be a major consideration when PPPs are planned, financed, and executed.
